Buying Short-Sales & Foreclosures--I Need Help!

Hello All

I want to do an informative link post on my blog with including only the BEST OF THE BEST posts on short-sales and foreclosures. My idea is to have it as a reference posts that people can refer back to for advice and information so I don't have to say the same thing 200 times before this whole thing is over!

My thought is to have 3 - 6 posts to be included on MY blog post to explain the processes/pitfalls and what to expect when buying one of these types of properties.

ARDELL did one of the best ones I have seen so far on RCG. So I ask for your help to please guide me to what you think are GREAT posts on the buying processes (pros & cons) for short-sales and foreclosures.

ANYONE can chime in, even Brian Brady or the lovely Laurie Manny and paydirt would be "T".

If there are any consumers that have any good reference information PLEASE feel free to leave the link in the comments!

Please feel free to leave any/all links in comments EVEN if they aren't YOUR posts.

Hi Kevin. It has been awhile and for that I am sorry. Our market is hit hard by foreclosures, I have an entire category for it:

Out of these I can't pick the best but this one has been linked to the most: http://www.stpaulrealestateblog.com/st_paul_real_estate/2007/09/bank-owned-home.html

This one got 46 comments of so and most of the comments are longer than the post:)

Who's fault is it
I don't enter real estate carnivals but one of my friends wants to enter it.

Thanks for thinking of me. Anything we can do to help consumers needs to be done. Personally I am on a mission with the bank part of it. I think their incompetence at selling real estate is killing the housing market and brining down the economy. Foreclosures are on the market significantly longer than any other kind of property becasue banks can't sell real estate and make lousy clients for realtors.

Hey Hun! Happy Holidays! Double-kiss on each cheek! :)

I'm not well-versed in this stuff but I figure if I have a resource post on it I could learn and offer some insight into these topics for my clients.

I'm really glad you came here and helped me!

:) my pleasure. :) Just so you know one problem we have with consumer information is that foreclosure works differently in different states. Cosnumers don't understand that when they search for help.

Hey Kevin: I have written dozens of articles about short sales and foreclosures on my site at About.com. You can link to them by publishing two or three lines from each article, if you like.

I needed one more comment before bed. I'm Jonesing for the #1 WA spot now that Rich got "kicked out" LOL

Well, well ARDELL.

I'm glad I could be of assistance. Actually, I'm on a "point" mission myself.

Scruples, scruples. On my way to INMAN NYC today. I'll call you from Beer-n- Bloggers tonight--pass the phone around the room!

I've successfully completed a few both by myself and also with the help of attorney negotiation. I was successful both ways...there are certain things i do and things you must disclose...there is a fine line to the process but all banks are different but the process is similar. I'm in the process of getting a more difficult one in the next few weeks but there is a tenant in the property to make matters worse.
